ABC Breaking News | Latest News Videos “Reclaiming My Time” #MaxineWaters’ claim of the week. It’s one that went viral as an ode to the venereal of our lives and aimed at those, and that which see things from a vernacular opposite or opposing ours-all in an effort to zig zag and subtract from our…

So while you listen to this delivery of the (fluid, under 3 minute assessment) of the goings on this at weekend’s G20 Summit, it may go over some’s heads but as a American, we can’t let that happen so I will do my best to summarize it: ABC Australian Political editor Chris Uhlmann delivers a…

If you don’t know the goings on behind this thing with Katy Perry and Ryan Seacrest but I will get you started here (via our friends at MSN) and then I’ll slide back through with my lil’ spiel…on that and the rest. It’s been on my mind too much…

Gag Me with a Spoon Coon. Stick a fork in Miss Dash. Fox is parting ways from her. The 90s sitcom star just can’t catch a break. Well…she did (and managed to get canned) on a BET’s night time drama series Single Ladies. Since then, the wannabe right wing, residual republican threw herself in to…

Well if there’s room for an acting category of entertainment for “president elect” Donald Trump’s inauguration, Zoe Saldana’s is in the mail. Along with others who lift and speak of, or for The Donald in high regard, seeing as though the Avatar actress has spoken out in his defense, surely she’s in his good graces…

As hippy history would have it, Charles Mansion was like that fallen angel that turned into the devil—and led many. The notorious text-book narcissist and cult leader was known for mass murders (by way of a knife or gun (or axe) he never even had to touch) has finally been touched by…

Were ‘Dangerous’ Anti-Depressants The Cause of Carrie Fisher’s Heart Failing? The death of Carrie Fisher ripped across headlines with the same speed that it ripped hearts of Star Wars fans and beyond. Although we all know Fisher was very vocal about her mental illness and died of heart failure, buzz is circulating that ‘dangerous’ antidepressants…

It’s one thing for Lena Dunham to call Shia LeBouf’s bluff. It was another (odd) thing to publicly admit to incestuous thoughts, doings and candy for kisses bribes while masturbating next to her very own sister once upon a time, I shared a bed with my sister, Grace, until I was seventeen years old. She…

Just when I was about to crap on Kanye Kardashian West for his first questionable move since dying his hair blond, The Art of War’s Wesley Snipes steps to his defense. If you're spending your day talking about Kanye and his hair you need to reevaluate your life fam. Get some business of your own….

There is more than one kind of negativity. Typically, the one we often talk about and have a gazillion same stories warmed over on is that ‘1.’ That ‘1’ is the judging and fingerpointing the ‘negative’ rather than taking it a step further in a positive direction to do something about it. We all have…

Donald Trump’s Conflicts of Interest: A Cheat Sheet Believe it of not, the day after the election, I was still hurt but ‘realized.’ ‘Realized’ meaning I came to terms with the fact that we are going to have to deal with the country being run an unconventional way for the first time in history. Look…

In the world of self-identity, it seems like an all out war against teens and young adults right (under 21) now. It’s obvious however, that our baby boomer and parents of Gen X’ers are starting to feel a loss of control over the direction their child is headed—sexually. In conjunction with my write-ups, I find…

Even before the suspect materials and hang chad issues at the voting both, the electoral college has always been this “thing.” We heard about it in elementary social studies. We heard about it in high school civic lessons. But we never knew just who these ‘college students’ were. What we did know however, is that…

With a broken heart. #ImWithHer, still. I made a decision though. I don’t know about you, but I actually feel good this morning-even after suffering that crushing blow of the presidential candidate I rode for having coming to a complete stop. I am sad however that I lost my resourceful mother who always had an answer…

Given that she lays next to one of the most notorious cyber bulllies in Twitter history, if it wasn’t enough that Melania Trump got trampled on for interjecting into her first public speech-the importance of ridding ourselves of the nastiness of cyberbullying; one thing the hypocritical statement did do was silence—the cyber bully: he’s…

Somewhere deep in the throes of what Donald Trump loathes right now (the media) is an archive of Trump loathing Janet Jackson’s mishap at the 2004 Superbowl. As pop culture would have it, Trump deemed it as ‘disgraceful’ and a few other choice words he used to describe the now, historical incident. This time around…

I scream. Ice cream You scream. You cream For, I scream. For ice cream. Whether or not you or I scream for ice cream, today, the popular ice cream brand Ben and Jerry’s screamed in deed, indeed: by dropping a shout out and snippet that could have easily been accompanied by Marvin Gaye theme music…

As a mom of a special son with an epileptic condition, this story of about Alfred Olango pains me deeply-and at this point: I take it personal. As a young teen mother whose child basically grew up with me, thankfully I had a mother who was very instrumental in helping me raise my child as,…

Yes #BlackThighsMatter and Faith Evans was caught in the nude—underwear. Got a lot of things to load here for September’s shenanigans before September’s so gone but am taking a moment to post up the ‘Faith Evans flash’ that the Internet is all abuzz about. Currently, Faith is on tour with her BadBoy Fam. And while…

This is biggggggggggg. With regard to this ratchet wretched political run, if you follow our sister site and our reports on Trump, then you know the Republican political party is in shambles. Those shambles are shrapnel of dissension: in-fighting from some party members urging fellow republicans to throw support behind Trump. Other party members straddle the…

While curves are a ‘thing,’ on the market (for sale), and on the Internet (for show), aside from the gawks from the many, the stares of the few, and screw-faces from the plethora of women-a-plenty; girls with curves have another ‘problem’ to contend with: All threads are not created equal. Like I mentioned in another…

Soooo pettiness was the name of the game all across social media-a game that remained in favor of actor Johnny Depp-leaving a his (now) ex wife Amber Heard looking like a some broad who, when all was said and done, was just another woman after a rich man’s money. Given his reclusive nature since…

If you didn’t know whatever became of that mysterious, green water situation in the Rio Olympic pool, the answers eventually poured in-sorta like how 21 year old champion swimmer Ryan Lochte’s got to answer for some things, too. Two ironic things stand: Lochte (in all his white-grey locks, 10 Commandment Moses-hair like glory) failed commandment…

At the Chicago Margarita Fest and found out to be named Jessica Lynn Sanders, while the APB is put out on the location where this rabid animal masquerading as a woman works …this next one spewed her racist rant while at work at popular Tennessee restaurant Cheddars—and was foolish enough to Snapchat…

My mom always warned me that in life, sometimes you have to play baseball with hockey’s rules. So who says that because you bat for the other team, the opposition can’t cheer for you if you hit a homerun somewhere, at some point, with some thing. And sometimes trolling is fair game. sister site’s stories…

Just in time when Trump gets a “modest boost” in Ohio after the Republican National Convention in Cleveland, something funky happens. If you exercise your right to vote, or even know just a little bit about politics, then you know that Ohio is a very necessary solution-it’s a “swing” state. Related reading: Union support for…

Plagiarized, stole, lifted, borrowed, took, replicated or however you want to dress it up; Melania Trump did it. As if she had tucked a way somewhere, an education; the fantasizing First Lady hopeful got right up on that GOP stage at the RNC and pretended to be so presidential that she brazenly imitated First Lady…

Do not promote empty people & their tantrums. Pure clickbait to gain followers, attention & money, for themselves, not you. Never you. — jesseWilliams. (@iJesseWilliams) July 3, 2016 Wasting Spending time gathering to draw up a petition to have Grey’s Anatomy’s Jesse Williams fired from the executive chair in which Shonda Rhimes sits is like…

Life imitated art this past Sunday as it took all but 4 minutes for “timberrrrrrrrr” to be yelled and things [to] fall down in Justin Timberlake’s face when (via Tweet) he responded to a speech given at the BET Awards in which Grey’s Anatomy’s bi racial, racially ambiguous hunk Jesse Williams stayed true to the…

By end social media dragging, Outkast’s Big Boi was made to feel like a lil’ boy and handled something like this, perhaps: “You know what your are? ..and I didn’t think so. You’re a dog. You’re a maddddddddd dog to be exact.” “You know what? You fckd with the wrong one. You know something? …A…

Cuteness certainly couldn’t be denied when after a long awaited wait, pop culture public sat back and anxiously awaited Chris Brown to step up to the plate of his fraternal responsibilities after hearing rumors he in deed WAS the father of a daughter born unto some random chick other than his two usual suspects:…

That “other” republican (Donald Trump) hasn’t had the friendliest of responses with regard to solidarity from those other, other republicans willing to get behind him, but as the bullying businessman turned politician has kicked his fellow republican opponents off the campaign trail along the way; those one “other” republicans (less former President George Dub’ya and…

Beneath an often times jovial, humorous exterior (outside of basic associations-), I have a policy necessary at the foundation of any relationship before I ‘play’ with you. When it comes to ‘relationship’ I have very regimented rules. Because once the rules are followed/adhered to, there is nothing I wont do with, for, because, or for…

Although a total invasion of privacy, it seems so long ago [that the] “The People Of Walmart” Internet meme’s showing actual people in the world shopping at Walmart in compromising positions—or wearing questionable and not so well thought out items, was harmless (as long as the subject’s back was turned). It’s no laughing matter however…

My friend and me made a pact one day: To go out, be out in, or do an impromptu something that we weren’t used to doing-something that was the antithesis of ourselves…correction: our “self.” You see my friend D is an actress and singer (pp. 277-280 | pp.239-242 | pp.353-356) and I’m a writer and artist….

It may be all the coincidence that Me and Mrs. Jones singer Billy Paul died yesterday-the same day that rapper Miss Jones herself (a.k.a) Lil’ Kim officially killed off the “me” in the her that once was—revealing a completely different face than even the gradual facial changes she stayed the subject of . Born Kimberly…

School safety is extending itself way past the fear of student’s peers bringing guns to school. Although that is still happening, we can’t deny that another form of school violence is taking place to: With teachers and police officers patrolling schools as well (being violent against students). Although the world of social media is like…

With bigger fish to fry-given its state (reportedly) among the highest obesity and unemployment rate, the old “crooked letter, crooked letter” state of Mississippi insists (wherever they can) on enforcing laws conducive to its ignorantly oppressive and reputation and way of life since days of old-even through to 2016. House Bill 1523 (a.k.a Protecting Freedom…

One thing’s for certain and two-for sure like Scott Baio, who (as a basis that Trump could run a whole country for reasons given that Donald ‘speaks like he speaks’) just last week, reappeared from a good-looking 80s cocoon announcing his support of Donald Trump, such a thing can put the spotlight on you [but…

Amber Rose recently just got herself surrounded by a swarm of bees Beys-all stings due to Beyonce being the subject of a statement that Amber made to The Daily Beast just recently. “It’s bullsh/t, and this is the thing: They come at me and Kim so hard because I was a stripper and she had…

I’ll never forget the time I got that middle of the night phone call that we all dread: A loved one has been in an accident and needs you. This particular middle of the night phone call was more scary than those thoughts of such a dreaded call-especially when it’s about your mother. Outside of…

*Say this with me Scandal-fast: So here we are, over a decade Century later, after a near beheading of a woman, the brutal, bloody murder of her friend from a restaurant who just so happened to be stopping by to bring the sunglasses she left and the killer (who fit), with a lawyer (who, since-died…

Ghosts of Clinton’s past have come to roost. “…Not just gangs of kids anymore. They are often…the kinds of kids that are called super-predators: no conscience, no empathy. We can talk about why they ended up that way but first we have to bring them to heel.” That verbiage has presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton’s under a…

This Apple v. U.S Government issue is getting more and more rotten by the day. If you didn’t know already, Apple is its own entity, program and operating system separate from Android and the (few) other technology titans. The leading tech company right now has found itself up against the U.S Government by being asked…

Where there’s will, there’s a way. While Beyonce’s greatly anticipated Formation tour is completely sold out in the U.K and expected to have quite the domino effect throughout the entire tour itself; the suddenly controversial powerhouse singer’s going to have to get in formation on new levels. If you recall, just a day before the…

Sometimes we all need saving from ourselves-especially in areas where our pleasure centers are met with pleasure: e.g., sex, drugs, alcohol, food, money etc. Just like the saying that goes: “A fool and his money shall soon part.” For a man (with a blue pill) he’ll definitely shoot [and] ‘dart.’ Societal pressures of being monetarily…

People have long accused Beyonce and Jay Z of being members of the secret society known as The Illuminati, and while neither one of the power couple had never addressed the rumors, Beyonce addressed it out the gate-in the first line of her new hit song. Y’all haters corny with that Illuminati mess. With no…

Amazon is taking it back to its roots and onto the asphalt while functioning quite nicely in the webosphere. If you remember, the online superstore website originally started off as on online bookseller which at the time, put fear in virtual bookstores. Eventually (as online bookstores started opening in the 2000s), Amazon began to…

Despite Bowie’s gracious offer to decline a duet with Coldplay that, too many, thought was indeed a cold play; Beyonce stepped in a saved the day, anyway. The hot, powerhouse superstar extended her time and shared her talent on Coldplay’s album on a song (featuring her) called Hymn for the Weekend (featured at the…

Ever had that debate with someone putting another (or you) down about looks or certain attributes and you (or they) said, “Well if he/she/I could change it, I/he/she sure would!” Welp. With research taking place at London’s Francis Crick Institute, going forward, you might have that option as, scientists have been given the green light…

So lemme get this right (about all that’s wrong). You insult: The disabled Reporters Iowans Muslims Seventh-Day Adventists African Americans Jews Asians Religion All his competitors Foreign policy Environmental degradation POW’s Women and liberal women Period-shame a woman on a public platform: Have an interview with that very same woman back in where…

Jaden’s spread is ready. A couple weeks ago Jaden Smith dropped jowls and lifted skirts after being caught with his slip showing. The problem with that was, he wasn’t hiding: he brazenly struck a pose in a skirt for Louis Vuitton’s Womenswear 2016 campaign. The 17 year-old flower child models a mixture of [a] biker styled…

You remember the videos floating around social media last summer where a Planned Parenthood exec was (“allegedly”) caught out there at lunch having wine and spirits and talking about the ones lefts behind from many unsuspecting women i.e: talking [about] the sell of baby parts…”human tissue” of aborted fetuses. Obviously, according to the video, this…

They say life is 10% of what happens and 90% how you react to it. And Stacey Dash, today (and for times on social media when Fox Television let’s her out the gate), should be a reminder of that-and here we are, reacting to a defunct actress. *blows bangs. Silly us. It was just last…

Well J. Cole’ll certainly give us a visual to remember the next time we crank on the radio to hear him rap the line of his current hit: I want a real love, dark skinned and Aunt Viv love. That Jada and that Will love …as, there’s certainly no love between Aunt Viv and Jada…

An invention made to benefit to women and children of Africa that I stumbled upon, may very well be helpful to the residents of Flint Michigan. We’ve all seen the videos of women and children in Africa carrying buckets and pails for miles to village water sources to take back home to feed,…

Jada Pinkett Smith ‘aint “lil’ Jada Pinkett” no more. In fact, the veteran actress with over 20+ years footprint in the business has much to say about a growing problem in Hollywood. And before it gets cut and ignored as reel on the cutting room floor, Smith suggests people of color get…

Let’s just say that 1 of the 3 billion dollar Powerball winners were more excited about telling the world even before they signed and told the Tennessee Lottery Commission they won. confused face …So much so that they started making interview rounds in New York City even before sealing their deal! Who does that? The…

Be it real, coincidental or ‘imagined’ (in essence) it’s being shown more than ever said aloud (or copped to). For the second year in a row , the Oscars / Academy is making it abundantly clear that while you can rock out on Twitter with your hashtag histrionics and heaves of the yearly #BlackGirlsRock, and the…

With a warrant out on her issued just hours ago, not to be outdone by whomever the lucky winner of tonight’s Powerball is, winner of the 1.88 million dollar Powerball (around this same time last year-2015: Marie Holmes, 26), is certainly adding to her year long losing streak over the past 365 days. …

Sorry, but experts say your ticket to happiness won’t exactly be found in a 8/900 million dollar Powerball ticket and pretty much however you managed your emotions tied to money before an influx of cash is a good indicator of how you will manage-with it. I can believe that as, I don’t care if its…

Not to be outdone by Louis Vuitton’s new womenswear campaign being modeled by women—and Jaden Smith (blowing skirt tails and mind’s), Dolce and Gabana’s launched its Spring/Summer ’16 collection of the designer’s first hijab line. Both (Vuitton and D&G) campaigns are perfectly planned advertising and marketing tactics as, each campaign’s pieces are certainly the subject…

Linked to where our emotions, reasoning, problem solving, and the ability to plan is stored; it’s scientifically proven that until we are around age 27, our frontal lobes aren’t fully developed. That being the case, a lot of our decision making processes are reasonably questionable as, until the frontal lobe is fully developed, our…

AAYYYYEEEEE MAN! It’s been a long time since I’ve been shot something across my desk to inform my readers about that not interrupted me, but forced me to shuffle in between what’s on deck and put it to the front of the stack, STAT! This one here did just that. Not just because of the…

The story being talked (and laughed about) all over the world very much deserves to be heard. And seeing the man who committed the crimes crying (looking a little something like this) is quite funny yet, the reason behind why is all but a laughing matter. This ONE case unmasked and forced us all into…

Stacey Dash went for it again: accepted the invitation to be made an example of-by insisting on spewing her political beliefs beyond the realm of her limits and respective threshold: Twitter. This time around, the Clueless actress appeared on the Fox News Channel, weighing in on President Barack Obama’s speech about terrorism and had this…

There’s no running Snoop out the hood, turkey. Keep dreamin.’ The rapper was just there—in Inglewood [California] smack dead in the hood, giving out something to the tune of 1500 turkeys to families in need for Thanksgiving this 2015 season. “This is a very big help for not only myself, but for about a…

You know, you could see there was blood coming out of her eyes…blood coming out of her…wherever. -Donald Trump While on the campaign trail (and the result of the Twitter hashtag #PeriodsAreNotAnInsult) with an attempt to insult her, ever since The Donald quacked at Megyn Kelly and tried to pass his choice of words…

Early this morning, OSF favorite wild guy Charlie Sheen is expected to appear on the Today Show to announce a wild rumor that started off as a weeded, weird, jungle of a mystery blind item run in the New York Post November 11, that by day’s end November 16, quickly grew four legs and…

This is 2015: the era of “showcial” media-the equivalent to the age-old adage: “everything looks good on paper.” What “looks good on paper” is all things that make us look and seem: ‘positive,’ ‘righteous,’ astute with a great acumen and all things that look good and “brandable.” We don’t want to step out of line….

An audio reel is making its rounds ‘round the media catching people quite by surprise and putting trusted for her word-talk show queen Oprah Winfrey in compromising positions she ‘dudn’t’ even know about. Although when listening to the audio, with all surety and confidence in that which she spoke the media mogul didn’t stutter, it…

“Ya’ might not know it now, baby but I-R.” Yes, he pulled up on us and is in the neighborhood……………….again. As you may well know, our royal “hi” ness and Private Joy funk and roll star Prince slid up in on Instagram to share his private, patented, and protected from piracy world with us. That…

While Brittney Griner is across the water practicing, gripping the ball and grinding, news has come that she’s probably gonna be gripping her pocket a lil sooner—than expected as, (proud or not) she’s officially the co-parent of bouncing baby girls. Those twins (that would have been apart of she and Glory Johnson’s annulled union) couldn’t…

RUSHCARD Financial Armageddon Loss: How To Get A Hold of Your Money Today, Where To Bank Next + Cancel Your Direct Deposit Dear Rushcard members. This is a follow up (and resolution) from my previous post. At close of weekend, I stopped by the check on the responses of Rushcard members and have a resolve,…

Circa late 80s, nothing said “Thanksgiving” like a Thanksgiving Thursday night with the family and belching up all the fixins while watching the The Cosby Show. Fast forward. It was a house divided today however, when (just in time for your family Thanksgiving Day dinner’s conversation piece) the November 2015 “Family Issue” issue of Ebony…

To have been the cute little girl with on-time quips that we’d all grown to love on The Cosby Show, seems like every word flying from The View co-host Raven Symone’s mouth is “raven” such that the dark and doom keeps plaguing the That’s So Raven actress who, this time, is on the hot…

So The Amber Rose “Slut Walk” finally launched, but before yous could get your panties in a bunch she already forewarned: “I’m Not A Role Model For Your Children, My SlutWalk Is For Grown Women.” As easy as it is to translate that as [meaning]: “strictly for the grown and sexy,” the fact…

If you remember, a few months ago we told yous about actor Tom Hanks’ son (Chet Hanks) going to great lengths to defend his use of the “N” word despite all the problems it was causing him in his personal and peer life, while chasing a dream by which he felt the direct correlation of…

Once evolved, known for their philosophic insight, Sagittarius will “Nam Myoho Rende Kyo” and “philosophize” all over you-sorta like a real life Sag herself: Tina Turner like in What’s Love Got To Do With It. Just ask Sag Jay Z who just dropped some philosophy on our a%%es last night for the naysayers who…

After harassing, and cruisin’ for that bruisin’ he was asking for and still, three years later, feeling the sting of the swiftness of that virile, youthful, agile, a%% whipping he caught by some 17 year-old hands that prompted him to run-get-gun; George Zimmerman is at about the only thing he can do with his…

As if you may (or may not) know by now, the social media buzzword of this past Sunday’s Emmy live tweet was #BlackGirlMagic and if anybody got refused to be snubbed from the inclusion and though it best to combat the hashtag her own way to ensure so, it was HBO’s Girls actress Lena Dunham….

The best way to alleviate your fears about things, people, and situations is to strip each of its “power” down to its TRUTH (not subjective truth-because sometimes their truth is not even what you want to believe is so-so you gotta be true to yourself, first). All “truth” the light, and only ways DO NOT…

pic.twitter.com/LMq0Icgeqq — Damon Wayans (@DamonkWayans) September 11, 2015 I know, right? My heart pumped Kool-Aid when the hashtag #Damonsplaining hit the net as (upon log on-at first glance without my having clicked into the link as yet) I screamed to the top of my lungs: “Damon Wayans is STILL dropping his ONE redeemable statement…

Have you seen this woman? Well let me introduce you. Her name is Suzette Charles and once upon a time, she was Miss America—for three months. You see what-had-happened was…she was runner up Miss America: promised to take over the crown in the unfortunate and unforeseen event that the winning Miss America (then-Vanessa Williams) could…

I have been a close friend to this beautiful and talented lady for 32 years. You have lived your life in grace and dignity and never was it more evident than during the events of 1984 when you resigned. Though none of us currently in the organization were involved then, on behalf of today’s organization,…

Her name is Vanessa Williams (Soul Food, Ugly Betty, Desperate Housewives, Eraser, 11x Grammy, 3x Emmy and 1x Tony nominee, + singer of a few of my favorite songs: “Work To Do,” “Comfort Zone” and “Save The Best For Last”). But before all that, and while many of us were babes,…

Inspired by a particular back story of a particular television show’s cast of characters (regarding “bisexual” men and men who are okay with being gay in relationships with these men who aren’t and still hanging on to being “bisexual”); consider this blog post a segue to that major topic of discussion. That topic/situation just so…

The spotlight is on comedian Damon Wayans who, while in a radio show interview this past Friday, September 4th-giving his opinion about the Bill Cosby scandal, had this to say-[quote]: “Tell the truth, if I was him, I would divorce my wife (*wink-wink) give her all my money, and then I would go do a…

If “Black History Month” hasn’t offended you or made you question it as “hate month” then “Black Lives Matter” shouldn’t offend you (and be seen as a “hate group”)-simply because (obviously) you associate the #BlackLivesMatter hashtag with “#BlackTwitter”—and now see both as not one, but two black fists. As I’ve explained before-regarding black lives, white…

Tongues are wagging like the speed and swing of tennis champion Serena Williams’ racket—about these ‘pockets’ of professional (yet subtle) racism happening right beneath her feet and around her like the lit squares of a Michael Jackson Billie Jean dance scene. Yet Serena obliviously seems to stomp and turn the lights off and a…

Just earlier this month (August 12th to be exact), Lamar Odom: former (slash) estranged, hubby of Khloe Kardashian, was caught out there when [what looked like] him rolling up on and ambushing Khloe after she came from the gym in Hollywood. Witnesses at the scene threatened to call the police but Lamar cried foul and…

Interesting. I NEVER thought “Shaun King” was biracial. I always simply thought he was a white guy championing black causes on Twitter, actively inciting the emotions of #BlackTwitter flocking to his interest in, and sharing of plights about injustices within the black community. Period. Dot. Matter of fact, just when I find myself chanting on…

Dee Barnes surfaced…giving “Beats By Dre” a whole new meaning-far over a pair of headphones, and the world is listening intently (and intentionally). In case you didn’t know who that was, she is the woman at the center of the January 27, 1991 incident where at a listening party for rap duo BWP-Bytches With Problems…

If the buzzing rumors are true, life will soon be imitating art like straight out of the scene in Color Purple where Sofia gave her spiel about “sittin’ there rottin’ in that jail” and shortly thereafter proceeded to perk up and say: “Ole Sofia home now. Sofia home. Things ‘gon be changin’ ’round here…

Well my girl Kelly Osbourne got caught out there in what was an inadvertent, indirect, attempt to take a dig at Donald Trump [regarding his rhetoric and wishes to whitewash and redirect Mexican immigrants out of the country] but instead, backfired–on her. A comment she made in an effort to take a dig at…

There is a fine line between creating awareness and attention. The Internet has afforded the world over (every continent, city, towns, barn and borough) the opportunity to see each other in ways that before it’s invention, was shut off and our knowledge of one another as a world was rationed off and distributed by tiny…

Prince pulled yet, another “Gemini:” the dual-natured usual of the proverbial say one thing but do another. As if his few entrances and exits on Twitter over the past five years isn’t Gemini enough, as a united front and show of solidarity to Jay Z and Tidal, the reclusive, private Artist Formerly Known As…

Watch the latest video at video.foxnews.com I’ve never been one to follow group think (and doings) because when I find too much is going ‘one’ way-I need to stand back observe. My thinking is, if I see a loophole or kink, that’s your sign that you should get busy finding your own way and making your…

At this point we’ve had enough. Whether or not Sandra Bland was hanged or hung herself is something we all will continue to theorize but in fact, may never get actualized. The fact of the matter however is: She’s dead. And both the brutality and blatant disrespect she suffered at the hands of officer Brian…

Fired-smired, who cares? Who cares if he quit or got fired. He says he quit. (The WWE says he got fired). As you may well know by now WWE Wrestler Hulk Hogan is suing Gawker Media for $100 million dollars for the published leaked video of him having sex with old friend’s ex wife…

When you have “bad blood” such that you do what you do best: write a song about it….who are you and what do you do when “bad blood” seeps into a bad night? Finding it ironic to parade the pit women against other women argument about as one unmeasurably capitalizes on the take…

With a motto bluntly reading: “Life is short. Have an Affair” (and priding themselves as the ‘premiere website for discreet connection’s–something was bound to happen to a business like such. Sh\t over at Ashley Madison just got real too, and with just the push of a button, there’s certainly going to be lots of homes…

More icing on the cake of Bill Cosby’s 2005 deposition got released and into the hands of the New York Times. Even knowing this was a legal deposition, Cosby pretty much did that thing men do: With given permission to get comfortable-romance their conquests and pump their sexual prowess–like locker room jocks…

Ole Trump had just the ticket to get his neck off the El Chapo block. Oh say can you see by the dawn’s early light, oh so rudely he hailed presidential hopeful: Senate Rep. John McCain’s position in this U.S of A’s armed forces in as low regard unfathomable that into the night his wig…

It used to be a time when I would get highly annoyed that the president would be speaking about un-presidential things involving celebritydrom and beyond-but then I had to remind myself: Not only is he the first black president (who, by that alone, will be put under the microscope of scrutiny), but too-he’s the very…

Today is Bill Cosby’s 78th birthday and unfortunately, at time like now (where he’s old and grey and walking around with oxygen); we should be bombarding his Twitter account with annoying little birthday wishes and at whim and daily-sending him our favorite Cosby Show clips and other Fat Albert, Little Bill and other clips of…

Although same-sex marriage has been made legal across all borders engulfing the USA, that doesn’t mean it’s so easy high-tailing it down to the clerks office to unionize your joy—not all clerks share that joy. With the help of The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Kentucky, four couples (two: same-sex and two: opposite sex)…

I remember some years ago back in my Psych of Self class, the professor had come up with this bright idea of a class debate where the issue was to be about a controversial subject in which the outcome (I guessed) was some personal data he was trying to get about sameness and differences about…

Rapper 2Chainz is back in the news with having his n _ ts in a clutch by a young woman named Christine Chisholm seeking $5 million dollars in damages. Remember that girl from a year or two ago that got publicly blasted on social media when this video tape made its way around of…

While many where up in arms and ringing the alarm yesterday with Bill Cosby’s 2005 deposition having been made public where (on legal paper and by his willingness to answer “Yes” or “No”) Cosby copped to admitting that he has (indeed) administered Quaaludes in with the intent on copulating with a/one woman and possibly more…that…

Bill Cosby is all over the news now, for you-know-what, riddled with a whole lot of “sorry’s” and “I told you so’s.” For the many victims that came forward and out of the woodwork, this day must be such a day of vindication for them, considering many of the rapes Cosby was accused of-happened years…

Although they’re claiming church #8 (Mt. Zion AME Church) may have gone up in flames due to lightning having struck [it], but lightning sure as heavens doesn’t strike 7 other times upon 7 other churches-it’s against the laws of nature and physics as, very rare does lightning ever strike twice in any one place (or…

Dear Geraldo Once you get over your subconscious mind seeing Hip Hop as a literal figure of speech that serves as a metaphor-symbolic of your fear of running into a young black man in a dark alley, perhaps you can see the the bright side, alright? Pun intended. Read on. So here we are, revisiting…

It’s been a longtime coming and households across America’s got some s’plaining to do at the dinner table tonight: Same sex marriage has been made legal in all 50 states (over the 36 that over the years), struggled to make happen after many other states persistently and consistently passed laws banning it. Well there’s a…

Well as you all may very well know, we’re rolling up on the sixth month that Bobbi Kristina Brown lay lifeless in a state now given a name called global irreversible brain damage– (Scandal-fast you’ll have to read this next paragraph): …all praises damning due to an incident where it is alleged her in-house (not…

Not in the house of a Barack Obama you wont. Although it’s been tried and tested with Bush: soles flying and whatnot… …don’t think you’re gonna get too far with a president that’s got soul-so heckle to your heart’s content. LoL. Ok all jokes aside. In celebration (and inclusion)…of LGBT pride month, the…

So you think you can cook? …and sew…and knit…and paint…and make furniture…and…oh you get the picture: All the things that Martha Stewart can do. Well if you can could have, and you got had a few millions laying around, Martha was turning over her apron to the highest bidder. That’s right. Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia…

Those very lyrics are much like the sentiments of pop star Taylor Swift’s perhaps-when that little worm told her that Apple was about to do a dirty little slimy thing: Press pause on paying certain artists during their 3-month trial for their music streaming service beginning June 30, 2015. As you may well know, this…

I’m just a bottom line kinda girl. Blame the writer in me (in most cases) caring about/focusing the need to have a conclusion first while enjoying writing the in-between stuff stemming from a great premise, but either way I need to know, or see the bottom line and end result before I lend my ear…

They seemed perfect together-so much so that alongside their respective successful careers (considering the fact he had been with two Jennifer’s back to back) a right of literal “passage” should be granted the proverbial double-singular name (even before Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner’s relationship could maturate). “Bennifer” seemed to have a ring to it that…

It must be tough-being on a reality television show where your main “thing” (as your storyline that gives your person “character” on reality show) happens to be something that you hate to have thrown in your face time and time again: “Your husbands a cheater and sleeps with everyone in Atlanta” [sic]. Well with no…

Police are looking for a young, white man, slender, bowl cut hair, approximately 21 years-old, wearing a gray sweatshirt (no hood/ie but with a white t-shirt beneath it), blue jeans and Timberland boots. Around 9 p.m. last night, the suspect walked into the middle of bible study at Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church and began…

Rachel Dolezal has been the talk of all of social media over the past few days after she was outted by her parents for being of Caucasian decent but living life and style as an African American woman. Not that she doesn’t have the right to wear a certain kind/color of makeup and “ethnic” hairstyles…

It’s. About. To Go. Down. Well…it was…supposed to go down: Tomorrow. Rachel Dolezal was penciled in to address the public outcry surrounding the scandal where she was outted for putting ‘X’s’ in ink in places where she let the makeup on her face and the hairstyles worn on her head back up this hairsplitting fiasco….

Look. I’m just going to charge to the astrological universe-for her being Scorpio; …the extremes she went through to layer who she convinced herself she was. As astrology would have it, Scorpio ruled by the planet Pluto, whose planet (of all planets) is the farthest distance from the sun and light (therefore darkest and coldest)…

It’s like a case of one of my favorite movie classics “An Imitation of Life” (above-the OSF screen in it’s entirety): A story about a girl passing as one race as a result of living in a day and time where since her childhood, she’d been shown examples of the better “benefit” of being…

Starting with the cover premiering Kim Kardashian in the buff all greased up and oiled down, Paper Magazine is seeing to it that its cover girls are seen through more than just paper thin “Fuggit. Naked.” I’m guessing they’re saying. For the magazine’s summer 2015 issue and shot by Paola Kudacki, Miley Cyrus is…

The police officer caught on tape for body slamming a young, African-American teen at the McKinney, Texas pool party has a name that too, is removed from the roster. Cpl. Eric Casebolt’s resignation is in full effect after protestors marched near the scene of the incident that took place on June 5. Although the McKinney…

Phoenix Mercury Center WBNA Brittney Griner finally speaks regarding the bizarre 28 day fiasco that quickly jumped the broom from a 9-month long engagement to 28 days marriage superseded by a domestic violence situation, turned marriage, turned new baby in the picture-all in a matter of weeks. If you read (and were enlightened)…by…

The back story on this story is as simple as this: Innocent teens causing no ruckus, simply enjoying themselves at a residential pool party located in a predominately white neighborhood. Remember? It’s 2015, and whomever the teens where that invited their friends…ya know…had a few black friends as well. Well. Therein swam the problem: The…

Talk about “first come love, then came marriage, then came the baby and the baby carriage” No limericks or riddles here-that really happened. All in a matter of 28 days (a record that even Brittney Spears beat in her reported 55 days of bliss) Phoenix Mercury Center: Brittney Griner and Tulsa Shock player:…

Somewhere along the road and rough terrain, Iyanla Vanzant’s fixing went flat (let Maia Campbell’s people tell it). If you remember (two years ago), troubled actress Maia Campbell agreed to be apart of an epi of Iyanla Vanzant’s “Fix My Life” where Iyanla (who too claims to have been a friend of/known personally) Maia’s mom:…

“Run Forest Run” is turning the direction to the tune of “run Forest’s son” because he’s got some people (like Malcolm Jamal Warner and Lisa Leslie) on his tail and warning: Actor Tom Hanks’ son is under fire right about now for his use of the “N’ word. Although the aspiring rapper…

With the news of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West finally being pregnant with their second (male gender) child-whether or not their first born: North West is going to get a “South East West” or a “South West” for a brother remains to be known. #BREAKTHEINTERNET What we do know for sure is that the Internet…

In the bigger picture (excluding their age gap and the fact that a 19 year-old would pretty much have nothing imaginably sensible, fathomable and substantial in common with a 57 year old man), and although disgusting because of; the bigger picture of the matter (if you sit and think about it) is this fact that…

Obviously there’s levels to this child molestion shish. Although an Arkansas judge ordered the records detailing the investigation into sexual abuse/molestation allegations of Josh Duggar of TLC’s “19 Kids and Counting” Honey Boo-Boo’s Mama-Mama June is holding the network-TLC in contempt of court. The former TLC reality star and mother of popular child star “Honey…

I love to listen. And I love listening to people talk. But in my world, no one can Internet me-me me, social media positive quote me, “God” me, “spirituality me or convince me in any way that they are who they say they are from behind those things. In my world of loving to listen…

The secret is out now: Kim Kardashian, 37, made the first move between she and Kanye West, 34. The reality show star tells Access Hollywood’s Billy Bush that she made the first move after her split with her ex-husband (with whom she was married to only a short period of time). “I was always attracted…

As Rihanna is gearing up for the release of her summer album—that’s right, I said: “summer album”…(yes..a release date season was revealed), she is still dropping gems in the meantime. The singer, who moonlights as a model, certainly shines bright like a diamond in her just-released official Dior digital short for her Secret Garden IV…

ABC News Videos | ABC Entertainment News Hosted by nonprofit group “The Black Belt Community Foundation,” as apart of “March for Education,” Bill Cosby was invited to walk across the historic Edmund Pettus Bridge. Unfortunately, lending his celebrity to support an awesome cause won’t deflect from the mounting accusations against him: that he (allegedly) drugged…

Tamika Fuller, the mother Chris Bridges [a.k.a Ludacris]s’ daughter by which he was awarded full custody of and (reportedly) will not allow her (Fuller) calls, visits, Skyping or any contact with the child unless [quote] “forced to do so by the courts” [unquote]-a couple of weeks ago-penned her 1st open letter to explain her plight…

When the above-posted pics were taken last time, after being estranged, Bobby Brown and his daughter Bobbi Kristina were reunited for Father’s Day June 2014. How ironic it is Bobbi Kristina’s social media post reading: “Hahaha I got a running start!..” is significant all over again, literally, this April 2015 as, she and her daddy…

Although Giuliana Rancic was all the talk of the Internet last month when she made [what many deemed was an inappropriate or stereotypical comment] regarding former Disney star Zendaya Coleman’s silky dreadlock twists she wore while walking the Oscar’s Red Carpet, life has gone on. A breast-cancer survivor who too, openly reflects how she…

Aww SUE-ki SUE-ki now… It was just this week that the verdict was read in favor of Marvin Gaye’s estate defending their claims that producer Pharrell Williams and Robin Thicke blatantly lifted Gaye’s “Got To Give it Up” for their nearly two year run of the chart-topping smash “Blurred Lines.” If you read my…

My old journalism/Media Law class at UC is probably going to one hell of a round-table discussion about this. I’m no longer there but I can see it now. A Los Angeles jury may very well have been summoned to judge the supposed stolen instrumental blurred lines of the 2013 chart-topping song “Blurred Lines,” but…

It’s Bobbi Kristina’s birthday and quite obviously an emotional time for Nick Gordon who, until recently remained quiet and mum, but here of late-cannot hold it in anymore. So sick of tired of being humble — Nick Gordon (@Nickdgordon) March 3, 2015 https://twitter.com/nickdgordon/status/572916298381975553 After a social media outcry about his not being permitted to…

Known as “The Black Madam,” a Philadelphia who claims she was “the best” in the business [at it]: Padge-Victoria Windslow, (a former Gothic Hip Hop artist) is on trial for third degree murder for the 2011 death of 20 year-old London college student/breakdancer/model named Claudia Aderotimi after “low grade” silicone butt injections were performed by…

The Internet hashtag #nofilter took on a brand new meaning when pics of beautiful supermodel Cindy Crawford, 48, hit the Internet just recently. No filter meaning: touch no buttons and blurring after “snap.” Send at your own risk. And well-in her case: leaked as her own frisk-but much to her desire-it frontfired: The beautiful supermodel…

Popular 90s talk show host Geraldo Rivera isn’t mad that almost won, but lost Celebrity Apprentice (to former talk show host/entertainment news correspondent Liza Gibbons), however, he does have quite the opinion about the Hip Hip culture that’s maddening (to some, or many): “Hip-hop has done more damage to black and brown people than racism…

I heard somewhere before that at some point in the room, the pink elephant takes a sh|t. 2 complaints about #snl40 the califonians skit sucked & there was no Eddie Murphy skit — Cut Up John (@1972JAG) February 16, 2015 It was like the curious case of Buddy Love: …Somebody had drank the Klump formula,…

Shock Jock Howard Stern has long been known for having no filter longgggggg before #nofilter became an Internet buzzword-hence the moniker: Shock Jock. Many have caught low blows from Sterns’ toilet tongue, and untimely quips and slips but who’da thunk he would take a shot at Sam Smith who, in all his British splendor seems…

It may sound petty but it aint. Tom Petty sues Sam Smith for the song Stay With Me (but wins). It took music lovers around the world to notice the similarities between Tom Petty’s Wont Back Down …and Smith’s Stay With Me. Results: Petty got paid more than petty cash off of the hit song….

“Don’t let you mind conceive what your eyes can’t see.” …is an instant quote and caption I would’ve have placed upon posting this pic. That’s certainly the warning sign needed after this picture of Willow Smith was posted [and the backlash began]. The problem was however…although the colorful, fitted, spandex shirt looked as if the…

Jaden Smith broke us off with another single from his ever-evolving catalog of music he’s consistently building. The latest from the second half of the evolved Smith kids dropped a song called “Passionate” where in it, he’s sure to frown some brows of….people (not just parents) who ‘just don’t understand.’ So when you get to the…

Ok so when I saw this post of actress Regina King’s “Happy Birthday” being retweeted, the first thing that came to mind (for me) was “Wow. I wonder if Malcolm Jamal Warner wished her ‘Happy Birthday’ via tweet, or text–or if they’re even cool like that.” I said to myself. It’s always a weird thing…

Directed by Menace to Society’s Bill Duke, Oprah’s OWN is bringing about a very interesting subject (among the African American race / “blacks”) that’s rarely talked about. COLORISM Whereas the typical argument that HAD often gotten the low end theory and explanation of the being the victim of the colorism had always been the darker…

Obviously an apology is an order when you video tape a vulgar rant that made you look like you were on bath salts and still-by end tape-left your viewers with questions like: “but why though?” A) When someone offers you a chance to get on board a thriving team of management in which [even one…

The law of power? Or the law of coward? What do you do to lessen the shame? Douse it with more of the same! That’s right. Talk about due diligence already. Comedian Bill Cosby performed in London, Ontario last night to a crowd-despite protesters protesting outside. Typically you know that at any comedy show,…

Considering the blogsphere’s media hailstorm yesterday after it circulated that after all this time the world awaited the typically reclusive tv wife of Bill Cosby to speak-she finally stepped up but spoke less than demure than her character “Claire.” To add insult to expectation, as a woman (regardless her closeness to Cosby) no one…

Dressed in Prada, Jourdan Dunn is looking gorgeous, fun, and bright like the sun on the cover of Vogue UK’s February 2015 issue. The 24 year-old Victoria Secret angel announced that [this 2015 is] “The Year of the Dunn” I’m so Happy to finally say I’M ON THE COVER OF BRITISH VOGUE!!!

Attorney “Claire Huxtable” has spoken. Well…Phylicia Rashad has (the woman who played Claire Huxtable alongside Bill Cosby for a subsequent 12 years as his television wife on The Cosby Show) has spoken. She came out for the movie “Selma”‘s luncheon and of course she wasn’t going to be left alone to the entertainment at…

Then and now, a lot people have/had ascertained that Madonna ‘aint wrapped too tight.’ If you know anything about the Desperately Seeking Susan actress, singer: Madonna Louise Ciccone, then you know (years before the watchful eyes, fonts, and desperately seeking attention pit called “social” media); as far back as the in the 90s, she coined the term:…

They say the pen is mightier than the sword and in this day and age-that old adage is even more true, real, (and surreal) for many. Take model Beverly Johnson for instance, who had a story to tell that pretty much fell in line with countless other women recently (and as far back as early…

As we stated before, Bill Cosby (out of nowhere) just one day, came out of left field and took America’s black youth and the black community by surprise when he went on this crusade about young men, sagging pants, parents buying $200 sneakers and other issues he had with the black community and life priorities….

It aint exactly one of Dr. Huxtable’s cool Coogi sweater’s but we now know where the inspiration behind his love of patterned prints: This fancy-smancy ele[ganzy] ole’ 70s robe The Cos was snapped in—allegedly a Polaroid taken by then model Janice Dickinson. Dickinson just recently (for the second time) spoke publicly about having been raped…

Nothing cements solid confirmation or belief in truth of a denial than out of the mouth of (and the face of) celebrity…………..that’s when things get poppin’. Over the past several years, whispers and reports have been surfacing about Bill Cosby [and what’s turning out to be]: serial raping women as far back as the 70s…

In lieu of rape allegations and rumors + Bill Cosby’s second talk show interview cancellation [with The David Letterman Show scheduled for November 19, and before that, The Queen Latifah Show for October 30] Cosby, having been easy about it all, took to social media today—easy like Sunday morning and dropped us all a little…

You wanna talk about “changing the game.” Save your ego-talk. Sit back and take notes already. So everyone knows by now, that Super Bowl Half Time in conjunction with the awesome commercials we all look forward to [is-for probably half of Nielson’s American public], theeeee most exciting part of the Super Bowl. It just can’t…

The baring of Nicki’s back-end backfired on her. As you all know, a few days ago (in support of her album cover art for her single “Anaconda” due out July 28), Nicki Minaj was read the riot act-all across Internet pixels for appearing [basically unclothed] with her buttocks in full view-taking over the picture backed…

There are so many ironies that occurred when Robin Thicke’s biggest hit of his career “Blurred Lines” hit the charts. You be the judge: …Not only was he being sued by the Gaye estate for its melody (allegedly) being taken straight from Marvin Gaye’s “Got to Give it Up,” but as well, the monster hit…

The line: “The game is to be sold, not told” …is a common riddle throughout the hood and street life, and is presented as if it’s some poetic, sweet sonnet that means nothing other than something positive, righteous, real, and true….but in a nutshell: Prosperous. Well, “the game being sold and not told,” has a…

Hold on to your pocketbooks, and wigs ‘cause I’m about to split’em with this news here. So without further adieu, allow me to introduce you to Forbes’ 2014 Hip-Hop Cash Princess. They [Forbes] want people like me to introduce her to you in case you didn’t know about this news (or in case you didn’t…

You want to know why I respect & celebrate Paris Hilton’s grind? I’ll tell you why: It’s a funny thing about “grind.” When incentive for it is in action (meaning: you’re eating off your grind, living off of it, or whether whatever you’re seeking in exchange for your grind–be it money, attention ,fame, praise…

Sure, in 2003, Lil’ Kim the Queen Bee said it: “Black Barbie, dressed in Bvlagari. I’m tryin’na leave in somebody’s Farrari.” ………. then in 2009, Nicki Minaj hopped in that open door, drove off, then perfected + personified “Barbie.” It miraculously took on a life all its own. Soon thereafter, she built a brand and lead…

“I think I’m Big Meech. Larry Hoover. Whipping work. Hallelujah. One Nation. Under God. Real n!gga’s getting money from the fu(k!ng start” Understanding he’wha’en playin’ when he said that in the song “Blowin’ Money Fast” (featuring rapper, The Lox’s: Styles P) okay? Neither Rick Ross playing when other motherfu(kers are getting in his way trying…

First of all, let’s get something straight: NOBODY “[puts] Madonna under fire.” And the only thing that could ever tame ” the Madonna” was that man pictured on the far left: Sean Penn. If you haven’t heard already, Madonna posted an Instagram pic of her 13-year old son Rocco holding a bottle of gin while…

“Black Panties?! What in the h.e double hockey-stick does R. Kelly have to write about some black panties for? He knows dang-on well the last thing he should be considering is putting music out having anything remotely close to the grit, grime, and roots of RnB with any sexual overtones, or lyrics” …is what I…

So the back story (in a nutshell) is this: in recent years, Bethenny and Omarosa both appeared on Donald Trump’s NBC television drama “The Apprentice.” The two have been at odds due to a comment made a while back where Bethenny made mention something about–Omarosa’s [and I quote]: “lack of success” [unquote]. Obviously,…

She called it a long time ago and said she simply wanted to be famous. Period. And well, she is-no different than you or me may wanting to be famous for a talent or skill. So got her wish: “to be famous.” Period. Is she wrong for that? The quick answer is “no.” …
